inFamous 2 Trophy Guide
By Wombat 908
1)Introduction
inFamous 2 is the highly anticipated to one of 2009's best game's inFamous.
Following the journey of Cole McGrath, players had the choice to be the
saviour of Empire City or it's downfall. Now, Cole is back for inFamous 2
as the Beast rampages New Marais while Cole looks for Blast Cores so that he
has the power to stop the fearsome creature.
Along the way, Cole will be
trophy hunting as well. He'll be taking down veranda's, killing those
annoying street performers and collecting Blast Shards around the city. But
Cole will need all the help he can get and that's why he's come to me. Dr
Wolfe's other animal surnamed friend, Dr Wombat. Dr Wombat will assist you
in getting those trophies needed to take down the Beast down once and for all.
Follow Dr Wombat's instructions and that final Platinum trophy will be
yours! Dr Pigeon will also be Cole's backup as he explores New Marais.
WARNING: There will be spoilers in this. It's pretty much impossible to avoid,
especially on some of the story trophies. Just be wary in what you're
reading and if you spoil yourself then don't send an angry email my way.
I'd advise completing the main storylines before going out for all the other
trophies. Or just skip the story trophies as they're fairly basic and easy
to understand.

3: Story Trophies
-----------------------
Unmissable trophies unless your PS3 decides to screw you over. These will
come naturally as you progress through the story campaign. Because there
are two campaigns in inFamous 2, Good and Evil, I've split this into two
categories. 'Good Story Playthrough Trophies', 'Evil Story Playthrough
Trophies' and 'Neutral Story Playthrough Trophies', the final one being for
trophies you can get on either playthrough. I'm so nice to you guys. I also
have OCD so I had to do it this way.
3.1: Good Story Playthrough Trophies
Playing as a goody-two shoes will get you these trophies. They're simple
and nothing too hard, just righteous moral decisions that you can only get
on your Hero playthrough.
Quid Pro Kuo (Bronze)
Description: Complete 'Leading the Charge'.
In the mission Torn you will have a choice to either join Nix to send a
running bus into the building close to where Kuo is held up, or you can join
Zeke in freeing the cops. Because we're playing as Good, we will free those
cops. Run to the mission "Leading the Charge" and complete it for this
action-packed trophy.
Ambulance Chaser (Bronze)
Complete Hearts and Minds Campaign
Because Kuo and Nix really do like each other, you have another choice for
missions to do. Well, not really a choice, you can be good here or you can
be good if you want this trophy. Once the cut-scene full of agreement has
ended, run to the mission "Hearts and Minds". Complete it for the trophy.
Status Kuo (Bronze)
Choose Kuo in 'Storm the Fort'
Oooh, Status Quo. Status Kuo. I see what you did there. With the choice to
take Kuo or Nix's powers, press R2 to go with Kuo. The results are very cool.
And you get a trophy so it's even cooler.
Exposure (Bronze)
Complete 'Exposing Bertrand'
Again, you will have the choice of joining Nix or Kuo in either 'Nix's new
family' or 'Exposing Betrand'. We are good so we will go for 'Exposing
Bertrand'. Complete this mission (which is surprisingly lengthy) for your
trophy.
Frozen Assets (Bronze)
Complete the Ice Conduit missions
You shouldn't be doing this anyway but if you mix Good and Evil side missions
together, you won't be able to unlock these missions. They appear on the
second island. Keep playing story missions around there until these appear.
You need to complete them in order and each need to be unlocked by completing
certain story missions. Complete all 4 to get your trophy. The missions
are as follows:
Unlikely Allies
Stay Frosty
The Big Chill
Mercy Kill
If you just complete every Good side mission you see when you see them,
you'll get this trophy with ease.
Incorruptible (Silver)
Earn full positive Karma
The Karma system is simple and easy to work out. If you keep doing good deeds
and acts (Choosing Kuo over Nix, Good side missions, stopping crimes in
progress), you will slowly begin to rank up. Anything that is the colour
blue is a good choice and act to make.
You'll start at Guardian Level, move up to Champion and eventually, Hero.
Keep filling those blue bars as high as they can go to get the trophy.
Carrying over a Karma level from inFamous will give you a slight advantage
in getting this trophy that little bit quicker.
Fight the Good Fight (Silver)
Unlock the good ending
Before anything, note that this trophy is glitched. To unlock it you'll
have to let the credits roll so don't skip them or the trophy may not unlock.
The credits don't take too long and it'll give you enough time to grab a box
of tissues so you can wipe away the tears following the ending of the game.
*Sniff*
Choose Nix over Kuo in the mission by pressing L2 and complete the mission
which will lead onto the final cut scene and the end of the game. Just don't
skip anything and you should get this trophy. The mission is significantly
different to the Good ending so be prepared for some shocks and surprises.
3.2: Evil Story Playthrough Trophies
"You were right all along Miss Kuo. I am the villain of this story" Slight
change to an epic quote from Smallville which applies here. Be an evil
[CENSORED] to get these trophies, only available on your evil playthrough.
A streetcar named Boom! (Bronze)
Description: Complete 'BOOM'
In the mission Torn you will have a choice to either join Nix to send a
running bus into the building close to where Kuo is held up, or you can join
Zeke in freeing the cops. Because we're playing as Evil, we will join Nix
in sending a truck into the manor house. Because that's how we roll. Run
to the mission 'Boom'
Playing Both Sides (Bronze)
Complete 'Fooling the Rebels'
Because Kuo and Nix really do like each other, you have another choice for
missions to do. Well, not really a choice, you can be evil here or you can
be evil if you want this trophy. Once the cut-scene full of agreement has
ended, run to the mission "Fooling the Rebels". Complete it for the trophy.
Rebel Scum!
Get Nix'ed (Bronze)
Choose Nix in 'Storm the Fort'
Similar to Status Kuo (though not such a witty title), you will have the
choice to share either Nix or Kuo's powers. Choose Nix to get this trophy
with a simple press of the L2 button.
Am I the Daddy? (Bronze)
Complete 'Nix's New Family'
Again, you will have the choice of joining Nix or Kuo in either 'Nix's new
family' or 'Exposing Betrand'. We are evil so we will go for 'Nix's new
family'. Complete this mission (which is surprisingly lengthy) for your
trophy.
The Cleaner
You shouldn't be doing this anyway but if you mix Good and Evil side missions
together, you won't be able to unlock these missions. These appear on the
first and second island. Keep playing story missions until these appear. You
need to complete them in order and each need to be unlocked by completing
certain story missions. The first one is a story mission early on in the
game while the others are optional. The missions are as follows:
Taking out the Trash
The Hunt
Assassin's Greed
If you just complete every Evil side mission you see when you see them,
you'll get this trophy with ease.
Arch Villain (Silver)
Earn full negative Karma
The Karma system is simple and easy to work out. If you keep doing evil deeds
and acts (Choosing Nix over Kuo, Evil side missions, stopping crimes in
progress), you will slowly begin to rank up. Anything that is the colour
red is a good choice and act to make.
You'll start at Thug Level, move up to Outlaw and eventually, Infamous.
Keep filling those red bars as high as they can go to get the trophy.
Carrying over a Karma level from inFamous will give you a slight advantage
in getting this trophy that little bit quicker.
Forging your own Path (Silver)
Unlock the Evil ending
Before anything, note that this trophy is glitched. To unlock it you'll
have to let the credits roll so don't skip them or the trophy may not unlock.
The credits don't take too long and it'll give you enough time to grab a
fresh drink to celebrate that you will never have to bother with Nix or Kuo
yelling in your ear about what to do.
Choose Nix over Kuo in the mission by pressing L2 and complete the mission
which will lead onto the final cut scene and the end of the game. Just don't
skip anything and you should get this trophy. The mission is significantly
different to the Good ending so be prepared for some shocks and surprises.
3.3: Neutral Story Playthrough Trophies
You'll get these trophies simply by playing the game, your Karma choice has
no play on these two trophies.
Closed Casket Affair (Bronze)
Give Bertrand what he wants.
Towards the end of the game, you'll face Bertrand for the second time in the
mission 'Demons' You need to complete the mission and defeat Bertrand to
earn the trophy. It's a fun mission that is quite lengthy as you're fighting
Bertrand in his huge monster form while protecting your buddies at the same
time. No pressure...
Pain builds Character (Gold)
Finish the game on Hard difficulty
READ THIS: The game does not give you the option before you play to choose
what difficulty you will play on, like Call of Duty does. As soon as the
cut scene with Zeke and Cole on the boat ends, when you can, pause the game
and go to the options menu. Change your difficulty and don't touch that
again. Changing it again will ruin your chances of getting the trophy.
Hard mode isn't that bad, just note that using the Amp in large group of
enemies that wield guns is suicide. Shockwaves or grenades are great for
clearing enemies away from you and if you need to run, run I would
personally advise doing you Hard playthrough on your Evil run because you
won't be penalized for Bio-Leeching enemies and since they give you full
health and energy. Also you can spam grenades and not worry about hitting
civilians.
Any enemies that you don't see as part of the mission ignore. Getting as
many as Blast Shards as possible will be annoying but you'll have much more
energy to store. Side missions unlock powers so do those as well. Just keep
ploughing through the enemies, there are no real tough parts. Good luck and
may the force be with you. For lack of a better good luck phrase.
-------------------
4: Combat Trophies
-------------------
All these trophies will be unlocked during combat, A.K.A beating the living
snot out of Militia, Corrupted and Ice Soldiers. Just keep on fighting and
pull off these special trophy moves to get the trophies.
Army of Me (Bronze)
Defeat 300 enemies.
Do I really need to explain this to you? I do? Tough. Go figure it out for
yourself.
Finish what you started (Bronze)
Perform 100 finishers or ultra melee combos.
Notice that after you buy the upgrade needed, when you use the Amp, you'll
unlock a little combo meter on the side. With a couple of hits to an enemy,
this meter will begin to fill. For a part of the game it will only fill
halfway. When it does, the /\ button will flash. Press this for a finishing
move which regardless of an enemies health will take them out in one swipe.
An ultra melee combo is when the meter fills to the top (As part of an
upgrade you will be able to purchase with the second blast core you grab)
and it's the same thing, only the move is more cinematic and 10x cooler.
Pull any one of these off 100 times for a amped up trophy.
Head Hunter (Bronze)
Use the Precision ability to rack up three headshots in rapid succession
Once you unlock Precision Ability, find 3 enemies and attempt to get a
headshot on all 3 of them as quick as you can. It's not too hard of a trophy
but if your aim isn't great then you can get this quite easily on a Crusher.
They're the Ice Soldiers that can build Ice towers to get a high ground.
Shoot them in the head 3 times fast and this trophy will still count.
I'm as shocked as you are (Bronze)
Defeat an enemy or civilian by stepping in water
Self explanatory but if you need help, that's what I'm here for. Flood Town,
the train yards and the swamp are all good places to do this. Flood Town is
perhaps the best as often you will see civilians treading through the water.
Jump close to them and wait to see them die from the shock.
Knockout in the Blackout (Bronze)
Defeat 50 enemies in powered down areas while no missions are active.
This is most probably the hardest trophy in the game. Powered down areas are
where there is little electricity. Your map will be full of static in these
areas. Enemies are much harder to tackle as there will be turrets, enemies
with miniguns and helicopters. You can't attempt these in missions either.
This trophy is missable too as once you power up the city, you can't
disable the power. You will most probably die multiple times while doing
this but it's possible. If you can escape you can run out the powered down
areas and recharge where power is available. Stick close to the borders so
you're prepared. It's tricky but possible.
Return to Sender (Bronze)
Send a Helicopters Rockets back at it using any Blast Ability.
Helicopters don't appear too often but will if you find the correct mission.
One of these is the aptly titled, Monsters VS Helicopters, on the first
island. Once you get the chance to play it, run to the Helicopter and
distract it by shooting it a few times. It will toy with you and shoot
at you but it isn't very accurate. Once it's red laser beams point at you,
that means it's going to send rockets at you. Once they're fired, just spam
your shockwave (Alpha is reccommended) repeatedly until they get the
copter.
Shock and Awe (Bronze)
Thunder drop into a group of 5 or more enemies
This is tough but only because finding 5 enemies who will gladly stick by
one another so you can Thunder drop down on them is tough. However this is
made easy by a side mission found early on in the game named Masquerade
where a load of Militia have dressed up as statues. I'm not quite sure
why... Anyway, get their attention and then climb a building. Wait for them
to come close to the building and make sure you'll be able to injure 5 of
them (There's a good 10-15 of them) and then Thunder drop on them.
Vehicular Manslaughter (Bronze)
Defeat 25 enemies by throwing cars at them
You'll get your first blast core real early on in the game and it gives
you Kinetic Pulse the ability to throw objects at enemies or anything. You
can even throw cars! And you need to, for this trophy you need to kill 25
enemies with thrown cars. Lift it, aim it, throw it, kill it. When the bonus
'Special Delivery' appears, that means you got the kill. Repeat until you
get the trophy.
Watch that first step (Bronze)
Defeat an enemy by destroying the object they stand on
This is a easy one to wrap up the Combat section. If you find an enemy on
a Veranda (Roofed balconies attached to buildings) and destroy those from
below, the enemy should fall and hopefully be taken out with it. They are
commonly found in the first island and you can get this soon after you
arrive there with Kuo.
--------------------------
5: Miscellaneous Trophies
--------------------------
Back to the Bayou (Bronze)
Return to the Swamp Blockade
This trophy can be a pain if you screw up. Once you get the third blast
core and get your upgraded static thrusters you can go back to the little
village you arrived at, real early on in the game. Go the docks and hover
over to the vertical pole and then follow the ziplines and the platforms
until you get to the village. The trophy will pop soon after. Avoid the
water though as if you land in it, you'll just go back, back, back, back,
back to the start.
Cole' Blooded (Bronze)
Defeat 100 Civilians
It would be wise to do this on an Evil playthrough. Just run around and zap
and kill any civilians you see. If you get the little Bystander (1xp)
bonus then you're doing it right.
Dazed and Defused (Bronze)
Take down the Blast Shard Bomber
There's a side mission on the second Island called 'The Gauntlet'. In it you
will have to take down the Blast Shard Bomber. Chase him for a little
while and then the Karma choice of either draining the bomb or shooting him
so the bomb explodes, killing civilians in the process. Depending on your
Karma choice, choose how to take him down and end the mission for this
simple trophy.
Discerning Taste (Bronze)
Take down a street performer who is imitating a statue
These appear as little red circles with a saxophone symbol in the middle.
They either lead to a musical performance or a man imitating a statue. You
can kill either for fun but you'll get a trophy for the statue performer's
death. They like to hang out in front of the cathedral. Find one and marble
at how easy a trophy it was. Heh... marvel, marble? I'm here for the rest of
the guide. Whether you like it or not.
Don't fence me in (Bronze)
Climb a Chain Link Fence and rejoice.
You should prepare for this one. Only the die-hard inFamous fans will
achieve this rare trophy. If you get it, I can only congratulate you. Many
fans have been victims to sheer breakdowns for this trophy has broken them
down into quivering weaklings. If you have the strength to navigate New
Marais, find a fence and *gulp* climb over it, well done. This is only for
the faint of heart.
Express Elevator (Bronze)
Ascend 50 Vertical Launch Poles
Launch poles are the yellow and black poles that once you leap on them,
they'll send you flying up the building for a quick boost. You can either
jump on the same one 50 times over but you'll most probably get this while
travelling around the city on different launch poles.
Extreme Makeover (Bronze)
Destroy 30 Verandas or other large objects.
The 2 most common large objects are the verandas and huge oil tanks.
Verandas are commonly found on the first island, oil tanks on the second.
Just blow them up and let them crumble. If you get the bonus 'Big Destruction'
then you're getting closer to the trophy
Go Long! (Bronze)
Hurl 50 objects using the Kinetic Pulse ability
Similar to Vehicular Manslaughter only you don't need to kill anyone. Just
keep throwing anything that is throw able and you'll get the trophy
eventually. Of course blowing up a few more Militia with those many cabs
can't do any harm. Well it can but it's fun. Fun, fun, fun, fun.
Heavy Hitter (Bronze)
Use your ionic powers 30 times
You get your ionic powers early on in the game and that point you can only
store one glowing purple ball of ionicness. New words are cool. For this
trophy you don't actually have to hit anyone for it to count, all you need
to do is use it. Once you complete the acquired number of side missions, you
can store up to 3 glowing balls of ionicness. Then you can just spam your
ionic powers until you get the trophy. Enemies will often drop balls of
ionicness so take them out and keep on going until you hit 30.
Hero to the People (Bronze)
Stop 80 Crimes in Progress
This will be done on your Good playthrough. The little crimes that appear on
your mini map count towards these trophies. Their are muggings, several
hostages surrounded by Militia and bomb. When you see these as you roam
around the city, stop the crime by killing the militia or draining the bomb
and you'll have won. 80 of these will nag you the trophy.
It's my Town now (Silver)
Take over the second island in New Marais
See Land Lord which is conveniently right below this post.
Land Lord (Silver)
Take over the first Island in New Marais
You take over an island by completing side missions so that enemy patrols
won't return to the area. A border will go around the entirety of the map
once all the side missions have been done. If you see areas of the map that
have a red and white outline around them, that means a hidden package mission
or Convoy mission can be obtained there, from killing enemies in the
perimeter. Do this on the first and second island for the respective
trophies. It will be slightly time consuming but it will make the game much
easier with less enemies to combat against.
Mountaineer (Bronze)
Climb to the top of the 3 tallest buildings in New Marais
You won't be able to get this until towards the end of the game.
1)The first building is the Clock Tower where you'll get your first Dead Drop.
It's opposite the bridge that you'll take to get over to Flood Town. You need
to climb to the very top for this to count.
2)The second building is the Cathedral. This is hard to miss on your map, the
big round green/ grey area, just down the road from the Clock Tower you were
just at. You need to climb for the very top for this, either of the two
bell towers will do.
3)The final building is the Ice Tower where you get the final blast core and
it's the highest point of the game. It's in the top right corner of the
second island and you need to climb to the top of the antenna to get the
trophy.
Nothing can bring me Down (Bronze)
Stay off the ground for 130 metres
You can do this at any of the 3 buildings mentioned above, the Clock Tower,
Cathedral or Ice Tower. You'll need your upgraded static thrusters for this.
Climb to the very top of any of the 3 buildings, jump off and keep flying
forwards while using your static thrusters. Avoid any buildings or potential
obstacles as if you grab onto anything before you reach the full 130, this
will cancel out your efforts.
Take them for a spin (Bronze)
Hit at least 6 cars in a single Ionic Vortex.
This isn't too bad. Find a street with a load of cars and using kinetic
pulse, move them around so that they are all close together and can be
taken away in one ionic vortex move. I'd advise grabbing 7-10 cars, just to
be on the safe side of getting this trophy. Having a second or third vortex
at hand in case you screw up wouldn't hurt either.
Thunder Flop (Bronze)
Thunder drop from the highest place in New Marais
To the Ice Tower people! Climb that thing and reach the top of the antenna.
Then Thunder Drop. All the way to the bottom. BOOM!
--------------------
6: Upgrade Trophies
--------------------
There are quite a few upgrades in inFamous 2 and will require a load of XP
to get them. Just keep on grabbing Blast Shards, Dead Drops, complete side
missions, defeat enemies and the 500+ bonus for completing a story mission
is always handy.
Matching Set (Bronze)
Unlock and purchase a power of each set by performing stunts
There are some powers that can only be got by performing stunts and then
purchasing the powers. Complete a stunt and buy a power from each category
to get this trophy. Here's a list of the cheapest powers to buy from each
set. Your Karma choice will impact this trophy.

7: Collectibles Trophies
-------------------------
Being a sandbox game with a huge environment to explore, inFamous 2 will
inevitably have collectibles. Dead Drops and Blast Shards are back from
inFamous but things are different and much easier this time round. I'm
not going to do a complete guide for the Shards because... because I would
be here for the rest of my life. However I will link you to some maps done
by IGN. I take no credit for them, they are all IGN's work.
Behind the Curtain (Bronze)
Collect 50% of the Dead Drops.
There are 29 Dead Drops. Collect 15 of them for the trophy. Check out the
maps below to see where each of them are stationed.
Well inFORMED (Silver)

Note that once you complete 60 side mission, you'll be able to buy the Blast
Shard Sense for2500 XP which will show you the location of the closest Blast
Shard to you on your mini map. So if you're in Ascension Parish and the
closest shard is in Flood Town, it'll point you there. It's really handy in
collecting those last few shards you'll need.

10: FAQ, Contact Details, Credits and Legal Mumbo Jumo
-------------------------------------------------------
FAQ:
1) Should I buy inFamous before inFamous 2
A: Yes. Yes indeed. inFamous is still a great game that should be played by
all. The story for it leads into inFamous 2 and you'll need to play it
to understand some references back to inFamous. Go, play it. Go! It's part
of the PS3 Welcome Back Package so it's free.
2) How long will it take me to Platinum the game?
A: Hmm, I would estimate 30-40 hours. Blast Shards take a long time to collect,
gaining all the XP is time consuming and you need to go through the 12+
hour campaign twice so quite a bit of time
3) On a scale of 1-10 how hard is this Platinum?
A: 3. Maybe a 4. Hard mode is only tough in a few areas but nothing that will
have you screaming at the TV. Blast Shards will seem annoying until you get
Blast Shard Sense and then your life will be changed forever. The chain
link fence trophy will almost get this a 8 though. Overcome that and
you'll be sorted.
4) Can I add you on PSN?
A: No. I did this in a guide before and I got 50+ requests from people.
Considering my friends list is close to the limit already (Sony, give us
more space) I don't want to add people unless I talk to them often or know
them personally. Sorry.
5) Will you play my UGC mission?
A: I think there's a search feature coming soon to the game. If you really
want that extra play and a rating I won't mind too much. Shoot me an email
(contact information below) and I'll hop on and play it.

Hopefully I'll be back for an inFamous 3 if there is one, if not I'll see you
on another trophy guide. To quote superhero God: Stan Lee, see you next
time, True Believers.
